Reasons for delay in marriage can be both planetary and self-created and that is where this article is a little different than normal astrological reasons for late marriage. Just consider a few important points below:
1. This article holds more significance for people who are much more focused on career, especially the female segment in the present times. The parents are worried about the late marriage of the child, and the child is focused too much on the career. For them, marriage looks like bondage.
2. The moment we think of astrology for marriage, we mostly talk about the 7th house and Venus. But do you know that the 7th house is the secondary house for the 10th house also, the house of career and profession . A person who can not avail full benefits of the 7th house may miss many privileges and benefits of the 10th house also.
3. Also, you do know that all 12 houses in your horoscope have a very strong intrinsic relationship amongst them. Did you also know that for some, marriage becomes Fate accelerator, to boost the 9th house of fate? Marriage, for many, lays a foundation for Bhagyauday.
4. In Hinduism, Marriage is not just a custom or event in life; rather, it is seen as one of the most important sanskaras one is supposed to follow in the present life. Marriage is the third sanskara out of the four sanskaras mentioned in smritis or Hindu ideology, namely Jatakarma, Upanayana, Vivah, and Antyeshti. This speaks of the importance of marriage in one's life and is supposed to form or carry karmic bonds in a person's life. So if you are delaying marriage for known reasons, you would be missing the benefits of many Good Yogas, which do not blossom till you get married.
5. Marriage is known to bring Saubhagya or bliss to the couple getting married. So delayed marriage, for whatever reason, can stretch you away from the many benefits you are entitled to. In astrology, it is not just the coming together of two people for our whole life but also karmic bondage that we carry from our past lives. The life partner you get, the timings of your marriage, the age at which you get married, and many other marriage-related matters completely depend on astrological yogas formed in your birth chart. Even the direction and location of your marriage may be decided with the planetary placement in your chart with the help of marriage astrology. A specified age is considered appropriate for getting married in different societies, and years-long delays after that specified marriageable age are not considered good
6. If the delay in marriage with a person's own will, we probably need to focus on the repercussions/results of late marriage. But delay in marriage due to malefic planetary influences in your horoscope can be seen from your kundli.
There are specific combinations seen for delay in marriage. These combinations are all person-specific; therefore one should not start deriving inferences.
